Hi,
I'm doing this way late late - my bad, I've had a pretty terrible April
so far with a string of events that made me mostly unavailable. In
retrospect I should have probably said something sooner :/. We have till
Tuesday 20:00 UTC, and I think we might still be able to pull something off.
Shaun, thank you for offering to be a mentor.
I also contacted the installer team yesterday, asking if anyone would
like to be a "technical" mentor for the install guide rewrite proposal.
Other than mentors, we'll need two "Organization administrators", people
who would manage the participation of Fedora in GSoD. Do we have anyone?
Brian, do you think you could do that? And do we know anyone else who
might be able to/want to step up? I originally thought I'd take one of
the spots, but I think I'd be of more use as a mentor, and I don't think
one person can be both.
By the way, I can't find this anywhere in the docs: can a single mentor
offer to mentor multiple projects?
Regarding projects, if we can have the same person (i.e. me) offer to
mentor multiple projects, then I'd propose the following:
* Refactor or enhance the Fedora Installation Guide by creating
separately published documents for each Fedora variant
(Workstation/Server/Cloud), taking advantage of Antora
* Update and enhance current contributor documentation, including
developing ASCIIDoc markup guidelines and providing a set of ASCIIDoc
snippets for common text editors (Atom, Vim, Emacs, Gedit)
* Create a documentation set aimed at users completely new to Linux and
Fedora in particular, focusing on describing alternatives to software
commonly used on other operating systems (such as web browsers,
productivity suites, video/music players, image/video editing
software…), and concepts such as package management and updates
Personally I could mentor any of those, or even offer to mentor all of
them if that's allowed.
If we manage to agree on something, I can work on making a docs page for
GSoD over the weekend, I got the flu so I'm not going anywhere anyway.
What do you think?

I'd like to re-open the conversation about Season of Docs. Here's the
previous thread, for reference:
We forgot to write on that thread, but it was in irc (terrible comms
hygiene - sorry) that Fedora is working on the application for Season
of Docs.

I'm willing to invest some time into coordinating Fedora's involvement,
whether that's as an actual admin, or just helping the admins here and
there. Here are a few ideas for possible projects:
* Quick start guides for the different spins
* Contributor guide
* Security guide
* Guides geared toward specific types of server deployments, such as
storage, virtualization, container platform, etc
* Guide geared toward developers using Fedora as their development
platform, as a developer workstation, as a testing/CI platform, and as
a deployment platform
Each individual project must have two mentors, which is different from
how GSoC has run. (Maybe they'll change GSoC too.) But, mentors don't
always need to be people who hang out on this list. We should look for
people working on those areas to help mentor. Find a developer working
on Fedora security to help mentor a security guide, for example.
It'd be great to see people step up the plate on these ideas. It
seems like with Shaun, we need just one more person to get at least
one idea on the table.
regards,
bex
